Are You Brave Enough? - Apos 𝒙 Community Gremlin DIY Tube Amp

[Apos Audio]

Hi all,

We've got something cool brewing that we'd like to share with the community. It’s Ugly, Naked, and Small. The Gremlin DIY Tube Amplifier is a little monster with a ferocious bite. Packing 1250mW of output power, it’s got the muscle to drive nearly any headphones that dare to cross its path. But don’t judge a beast by its cover. With a Class-A, fully-balanced tube design, the Gremlin delivers sound that’s sumptuous and lush, with musical tonality and heart-melting mids. To give this creature its signature growl, it ships with matched Ray Tubes CORE 12AU7 tubes. Once it gets its claws in you, you won’t want it to let go.
